The identities of the two Sri Lankan women who were arrested two days ago by the Israeli and Jordanian border guards while illegally entering Israeli territory from Jordan have been confirmed.
This was made known by the Sri Lankan Embassy in Tel Aviv.
According to the embassy the two women were identified as 50-year-old J. A. Chamila Thushari and 44-year-old K. A. Sriyani Manjula Kulatunga.
The two Sri Lankans had allegedly entered Israel illegally through the Jordanian border, and therefore it has been announced that they would be sent back to Jordan.
However, the Sri Lankan Ambassador in Israel Nimal Bandara has stated that the Sri Lankan Embassy in Israel will work with the Sri Lankan Embassy in Jordan regarding the safety and future affairs of both of them.
